The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia

As part of the San Francisco Documentary Film Festival I saw "The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia" last night. The documentary played in a large theater and the room was nearly filled to capacity. The audience audibly enjoyed the show, laughing, commenting, sighing at many points in the movie. I really enjoyed the look into the life of one extraordinary family in West Virginia. Unfortunately, I must say, too many people in Europe and outside of the U.S. think all Americans are like the Whites because of films like this and daytime TV shows like Jerry Springer. Still, as long as one realizes that this isn't the norm by any means, the movie is great entertainment as well as a reminder that some parts of American society are troublesome. Highly recommended.
